Activity of a player

[Shyam]

Hi,

Its holidays now and I finally get to play this game a bit more hardcore than usual. I was thinking about burning through all these built up turns via raiding-therefore I wanted to ask these questions:

How do I know how active a player is? Is there a measure of this or some way of interpreting this from the statistics? Also is there a range (in rankings) that would usually be a good target to attack?
-Personally I don't want to raid a really powerful person who purposely keeps his rank low by untraining his troops
-Also I do not want to be slack and attack "newbs" or even people who are genuinely trying

Thanks, Shyam

just go low ranks, but check the colloseum regularly and make sure u dont raid or attack someone who is currently in a war, usually they take offence to it, also familarise yourself with the bigger aalliances if your really trying to avoid trouble

well, inactive players are usually easy to pick out when you spy on them. normally they will have exactly or as close to 4000 turns as one can get (3998, 3999 or 4000) and if they are farmed alot they will have no defense. tho a recently massed person would also have no defense. personally, i attack anyone i can if if they respond asking not to attack them further i normally oblige, unless they have done something to make me not stop attacking them.

just go low ranks, but check the colloseum regularly and make sure u dont raid or attack someone who is currently in a war, usually they take offence to it, also familarise yourself with the bigger aalliances if your really trying to avoid trouble

thats some good advice there also, stay away from the big alliances and also with big scary COs and you should do fine

Thanks guys

Yeah I was aiming at the guys with around 4K turns (but sometimes I, myself, was content with having max turns (mind you I had a defence)).

I also saw some names that were pretty famous and yet still fit the farming criteria but I knew better. I realised that it is not always fool-proof.

Anyways I usually send out a message to make sure they are not active but that is usually post-first attacks.

Another thing to look at is their CO/Alliance. The better ones tend to clean out inactives from their ranks on a regular basis, so if someone has a known/active CO or belongs to a fairly active alliance, you can avoid them. OTOH, if you find someone with a title like first prime who has no CO, then they may have been dismissed for being inactive.

Happy raiding
